    Tina Comroe posted an update in the group Group logo of EGA Discussion GroupEGA Discussion Group 4 years, 1 month ago

    I got very OCD for the past month and decided to write up a short history of Chikan work in India. Complete with hand drawn stitch diagrams. Why? There are NO books written after 1975 that have any information about Chikankari of Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India. None. Oh I’m absolutely certain of that. Because every ethnic embroidery book gives just…[Read more]

      I love Indian embroidery and have been studying it and practicing a little, too, though not nearly with your depth of knowledge. Could you post or send me a copy of your report, I would love to read it. I, too, am a Scholar Embroiderer, used to drive my EGA small group batty with my “background info” on every project we did, ha!

      Right now I am in the editing phase, the cleaning up the stitch diagrams and the combination sketches. Covering up the naughty bits of historical statuary and murals from Ajanta caves to keep anyone who sees them from being offended by any sort of nudity cuz got to keep it clean and safe for work. Once that is finished I will hopefully remember to…[Read more]

    Amy comment struck a tone with me! Me too, I have concerns about the Online class Rosette. What if, after the class is over and what if, if by mistake I erase the downloaded instruction ( I am ignorant about computer and printer)–is there a length of time after the class–say one or two months to be able to contact someone to retrieve the…[Read more]

    Issue:
    EGA Glossary of Terms: Page 9. Entry: Chikan Embroidery. There needs to be an update in the entry. There is No such thing as a PHUNDA KNOT. It’s called a Phanda Stitch and is made to resemble Millet seed. It is NOT a series of blanket stitches. It is made with straight stitches repeated in place to make a raised seed.

      What videos are are talking about for our Kimono class. I didn’t know there were any available to us.

      I also want to thank you for all your help during the Kimono class.

      That Video that I am referencing comes from reading The EGA Glossary of Terms and finding something that needed updating and correcting. The Video Link leads to a tutorial on doing Phanda Stitch. I don’t recall taking the Kimono class, nor being helpful. Maybe that was a different Tina?
